Prestigious Cancer Center's Implementation of Charge Capture and Dictation Examined
Houston - May 01, 2006 - The May issue of Health Data Management features a case study, entitled "PDAs Chase Workflow Improvements" on the implementation, usage and benefits of MedAptus at the prestigious M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The institution, a MedAptus customer since late 2004, spoke with the magazine about its experience with our Electronic Charge Capture and Dictation applications.
Some highlights from the article include findings from a preliminary study comparing four departments' use of Charge Capture that indicate physicians are billing an average of $49,000 more per year than they were prior to implementation. In addition, the number of lag days, or days between when a service is performed and when it is billed, has decreased by up to 75 percent.
